The in-mold cooling process is influenced by the molding rate and the available space after pouring and before the mold dump & shake-out.
Fast molding lines require a great deal of space and ancillary equipment to provide proper cooling. The Superbelt® conveyor is a valuable solution for in-mold cooling, to minimize capital expenses and maximize the efficiencies of the traditional flask and flaskless horizontal and vertical molding lines.
The Superbelt® conveyor features partially overlapping steel pans securely bolted on a patented steel double-wire mesh system.
The belt damage-tolerant design is based on a multi-link concept that ensures redundancy, little to no maintenance, and trouble-free continuous operation. Even in the case the mesh gets severely damaged, the conveyor will keep running till the scheduled maintenance, without sudden failures.
The trouble-free operation ensures productivity and profitability and results in greater efficiency and uptime during a 24/7, year-round process.
As a matter of fact, the Superbelt® conveyor extends the cooling line, thus increasing the residence time of the cast part within the mold. The result is more effective cooling, less space for traditional cooling equipment, and no need for additional flasks to complete the cooling process.
